Chicco KeyFit Review

My wife and I have used a variety of car seats on our travels and the Chicco Keyfit 30 is absolutely the best!  It is far more sturdy than many other car seats.  The base installs in less than a minute in either of our cars.  One which has the quick attachment car seat anchors and the other car seat does not . . . which requires securing the base with a seatbelt.  Attaching the car seat in either situation is easy and very secure.  The other great benefit is that you can keep your infant in the keyfit 30 until he or she is a full 30 pounds.  This means that he or she is safer for longer.  Our son happens to be quite tall and heavy and so the keyfit 30 will last the full first year - which is recommended for safety reasons.  The seat and head support systems are great also, much better than other systems.  The only potential down side to the car seat is that it is larger than many of the other seat you may find.  It is larger for two reasons, 1 - it is designed for babies up to 30 pounds and 2 - is is much sturdier than other car seats.  Because it is a bit larger, it may be somewhat heavier, but that will mostly depend on your baby and for the extra safety and convenience.  Buy it, it is worth it.
